HELP HELP HELP Breathing through mouth

[BarajasE]

Yes his head is lower and he does have a light that he uses for night. About like 2 minutes ago he open his mouth a littl emore and it look like he was trying to push something out.

So you saw his tongue trying to push something out of his mouth? Make sure his head is low enough to help it to exit his mouth.

Is it a blue light that you use at night? It is a good idea to keep him warm but make sure the bulb isn't right over him and also not shining in his face because you want him to be able to get some rest. The blue lights can prevent them from sleeping good. You want him warm but not over heated.

 

[BarajasE]

Not his tongue but it looked like he was trying too. Should I let him sleep now even though its a little earlier than his normal sleep time?

 

[diamc]

What time is it there?

 

[BarajasE]

7:44pm We did turn his basking light off however

 

[BarajasE]

Keeps seeming like hes trying to push something out

 

[diamc]

If he seems uncomfortable and is trying to get something out of his mouth, it might be a good idea to take him out and point his head down to see if he needs to expel something.

 

[BarajasE]

how long should i try that for?

 

[diamc]

Just try once to see if anything comes out, just kinda slant him downward a little while holding him. If he seems stressed by it, then just bring him slowly upright again. Then you can wipe the mouth off to see if anything was expelled.

 

[BarajasE]

been doing it and nothing has been coming out

 

[diamc]

Ok, then either hold him or put him back in his tank in the same propped up position. Did you see any liquid or anything on the outside of his mouth or beard at all? How is his breathing? Did he react to you doing that?

 

[BarajasE]

no, no liquid. its kind of hard to see him breathe and his beard became darker when the tilting and further attemps to expell or w/e he was doing

 

[diamc]

I would just lay him down in the same position then and let him rest. I have to get to bed because it's after 11:00 here. I hope you have some good news to share tomorrow. Will be thinking about you, your family and your beardie. Make him nice & comfy and keep his head lower. Also, remember what I mentioned about the light for tonight. Good luck.

 

[BarajasE]

thanks
